AROUND MELBOURNE

Melbourne has the privilege of being located in a truly splendid region. From the stunning Great Ocean Road to the wineries of the Yarra Valley, from the beaches of Wilsons Prom to the mountains of the Grampians, there are countless options for hikes and trips just a couple of hours away from the city. Follow me for some unforgettable journeys around Melbourne!

Close to Melbourne

All places listed in this category are within an hour of Melbourne. They can sometimes even be accessible by public transport. You could easily spend half a day or even a whole day in some of them, while an hour or two would be enough for others. Enjoy your explorations!

Day Trips

The places listed in this category are a bit further from Melbourne. It will take you between one and two hours of driving to get there, so make sure to leave early in the morning!

Weekend getaways

These places are even further away from Melbourne, and unless you spend at least one night there, you will not be able to fully enjoy them. But camping is free in all Victorian parks from 1 December 2024 to 30 June 2025, so that's a great occasion to travel and explore!
